Pflegehinweise
Congea tomentosa requires bright, indirect light and thrives in warm, humid conditions. It prefers moderate temperatures and should be kept in a location where it can receive at least six hours of light daily. Regular watering is essential to keep the soil evenly moist, but avoid waterlogging.Boden
This plant prefers well-draining loamy soil that retains moisture without becoming waterlogged. A mix of garden soil, compost, and sand can provide the ideal growing medium. Ensure the soil is rich in organic matter to support its nutrient needs.Dünger
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize the plant every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to promote healthy growth and flowering. Reduce feeding during the dormant period, if applicable.Umtopfen
Repot Congea tomentosa every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current container. Choose a pot that is one size larger and ensure it has good drainage. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, loosen the roots, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil.Vermehrung
